With bread making proving to be a popular pastime among British people in lockdown, the site had more than three million views on bread-related recipes in the first two weeks of lockdown.

As many people have tried their hand at making sourdough bread - in lieu of being able to go to a local cafe and enjoy avocado on sourdough - it’s not all that surprising that sourdough recipes were up 900% on last year.

But, what’s causing so many people to pick up a whisk and give baking a go? According to BBC Good Food’s Lily Barclay, it’s all about the calm factor.

“Baking is such a calming activity which can help you focus and take away the stresses of the day, so it's no wonder we're seeing activity on the website post 10pm as people use baking as a coping mechanism.

“The motion of stirring, beating, and kneading can be meditative and the results are very rewarding, which is why we are seeing a surge in people wanting to learn new baking skills.”

If there’s one positive thing we can hope to take out of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s a solid banana loaf recipe.
